21 or World?

[The Questing Truck]

So I'm interested in diving into these games but I don't know which one to get. I see a lot of people saying World is just a reskin of 21 and others say it isn't. I'm seeing people say there are improvements but also "steps back" and a lack of content. Now overall I'm not interested in the price difference between the two so that isnt a factor. I'm also aware it is an Early access game and bugs/optimization issues that arises from that does not concern me either. All that said, as someone who doesn't own any of the Farm Manager games, should I buy World or 21?

World is more micro managing than 18 or 21. So I think it depends on how you like to play. If you just want to build a farm that makes lots of money and just works pretty much on its own, then you want 18 or 21. If you like to manage things, like crop rotation, greenhouse temperatures, soil, logistics and whatnot, then World is for you. I personally own 21 and World and I enjoy both. Just depends on how I'm feeling on which one I play. I still play both. Hope that helps somewhat :)

Get the two. Or get 2021 first. World still have minor challenges to fix.

Like Divalicious said, it's two different experiences. And the two are nice.
Personally, I played 2018, 2021 and now world. There is still many things to enjoy from one to another.

Frankly, I cannot see difference between them. For example. you are in tropics, Winter. The temperature over 30 degrees. And yet, nothing grows. Exactly the same as in temperate climate. So, except for some cosmetic changes in management and education (which is unplayable, because if you forget to train yourself in time in one layer, there is no way of going to the next), both games work in the same way. As I have both, I play the World as it is different appearance and a novelty.
And another thing, the staff in World, they look like criminals.

People use to say and complain about them looking like models in the previous games lol
